Memo re Busey Documents received from Sweeney under cover letter dated 9/19/00
EPL 303-001 Folder 1 "IBT Mice Inventories" EPL 1-14: This is a collection of spreadsheet information on the 1600 mice in the study at IBT; On the left hand column are the organs and areas of the mice bodies of interest; On the top are the mice study numbers (appear to be 1600 mice studied); the data is entered into the cells by letters "S", "B", and "W"
EPL 21-43: Same type of spreadsheet, but there are tallies along the y-axis for the organs with heart (64), kidneys (69), liver (70), lung (70) and spleen (68); along the xaxis are small numbers with "pm" written below them - could this be a measurement of the parts per million each animal was exposed to? Also along the x-axis are "X"s placed through both of these rows with large question marks above them - could this be to indicate death?
